    The rock paintings, which are between 2000 and 6200 years old, show the life of hunters and fishermen.

      Some of the rock carvings, which are up to 6,000 years old, are marked in color, but otherwise you have to look closely because the outlines of the drawings have not been colored. The stone history book shows humans and animals in hunting situations and during rituals and social interactions.

        The rock paintings are located in and around the municipality of Alta in Finnmark county in northern Norway. Since the first carvings were discovered in 1973, more than 6,000 carvings have been found in several locations around Alta.
